CT fastrak and Hartford Express!


Recommended Posts

For the first part of the trip (via train) , click the link http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/47185-waterbury-branch-and-even-more/

 

(Where I left off from Part 1)

 

So after I get off the train, the bus is already waiting there:

I had a half hour break time there, in  the middle of almost nowhere, so I waitied to take shots for the train I was on to leave. When I came back, the bus was now in service, with the express bus signs

7 people took that trip

 

I arrive at Hartford, and took some pictures of the buses there, including some of the CT fastrak ones:

I took the 928 back to Waterbury, and still had an hour before the train leaves. I ended up going to some Hispanic restaurant to eat myself a nice lunch, and I took a shot of this, small bus in Waterbury:

I make my way to the train station, continue my saga from there (The thread is here: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/47185-waterbury-branch-and-even-more/)

 

Video to come soon!

 

Thanks for viewing, and Enjoy!

Indeed. What's strange is this is the cleanest I've seennthese buses, and I live in Hartford!1472 was my favorite. On another unrelated note, these sadly have had the most trouble. I rode 1463 the other day and it got stuck at Parkville because of the front door not closing.But still,nice photos.

Awesome pictures again. I think the CT Fastrak color scheme looks incredible.

Thanks guys! 

 

Those buses are already having problems? Lol, one would expect this to happen after a while, but not suddenly. At least the fare is free until tomorrow. The new route I have seen ridership on the trip from Hartford to Waterbury, mostly disembarking at Cheshire- Milldale Park-n-Ride (the one the 924 serves). Towards Hartford, it wasn't as busy, but most riders went from Waterbury to Hartford.

 

Here's the video I promised (I tried something new with this video, and put a description within the video itself).
